Aquarius

Week of May 20th

Nightmares serve to tell you what you fear and challenge you to confront it. A good dream interpretation may serve you well this week. Investigate the perils of your imagination; see how many tigers turn out to be paper. With Mercury cazimi in Gemini, having fun is the antidote to fear. What can you do to relieve your stress? How can you address the hidden anxieties that limit you? Seek joy in creative acts, in good conversation with friends, on dates, or through children. One way to suck the poison out of your nightmares would be to find a creative activity that allows you to express the fear and pain, so you can alchemize it into art.

Week of May 13th

Look for beauty where you are. With Venus moving into Taurus this week, beauty flourishes at home, sometimes in unexpected ways. Relationships with family members may make sudden leaps. Or perhaps you’ll be inspired to redecorate in a fun new color. However you approach this transit, approach it with love for who you are, where you are. It’s exactly where you’re supposed to be right now. Saturday’s full moon in Scorpio invites you to celebrate what you’ve achieved so far. Your vocation is an expression of your unique gifts, and it is always unfolding.

Week of May 6th

Continuing to face your secret fears is a long-term theme for you. It’s still in play this week. You want to create a daily routine that nurtures you, and to that end, you must let go of some things that are holding you back. Unexpected changes at home or in your career are becoming par for the course these days, so lean into the change. Let it to inspire you to create an even more unusual, wilder life. There is room for more softness here. There is room for more giving, and less knowing.

Week of April 29th

You’re on this long, slow, hardworking path of chipping away at your fears. Where you feel trapped, you may not be as limited as you think you are. Even in the worst of situations, you can be physically trapped and there is still an eternal part of you that nobody can touch. But for those who are not in a worst case situation, what keeps you trapped in fear is a story you’re telling. This week, try to figure out what it is. Take measures to change it to a story of courage. Saturday’s new moon offers an opportunity to manifest something new at home.

Week of April 22nd

Sudden changes zap through your entire chart this week, electrifying and awakening you anew. The sun on Uranus in Taurus is highlighting a need for big changes. Where do you want to go? What feels like home to you? What memories are you ready to explore? Consider the consequences before blowing everything up to start over. Uranus electrifies impulse, sometimes to bad ends. However, you may have spent the entire past year building up to this point of change, in which case perhaps it is time. You are awake now. Don’t go back to sleep.

Week of April 15th

This week is about speaking your truth. Honesty can wound or heal, so aim to heal with your words. You have original things to say; you just need to confront your fears around saying them. It’s a week for speaking, learning, and making hidden breakthroughs. Friday’s full moon in Libra highlights your house of knowledge, inviting you to teach others or perhaps journey further in your quest for truth. You’re entering a season of real change at the foundations of your life. What is true for you?

Week of April 8th

The project of this week is to continuereleasing yourself from the fears and secrets that hinder your full freedom. Your sign has a reputation for being weird, so people may already think you’re fully free to be yourself. Only you know what’s still holding you back. You may need to loosen up on some previously rigid ideology to allow for a different perspective. While Aquarius is known for being different, you were most likely just born that way, and you’re not necessarily flexible about it. Make room for conscious evolution. Allow yourself to change.

Week of April 1st

Mercury conjunct Neptune could still be clouding your sense of self-worth or creating uncertainty in matters of money. Even though the retrograde is over, this aspect means we have to take it slow. Clarity will come, gradually. In the meantime, take it easy on the spending, take care of yourself, and prep for another cycle of new beginnings: the new moon in Aries. This one invites you to learn new things, set intentions for speaking, writing, or other communications, and maybe go on a short adventure. Try to figure out what’s behind any secret feelings of fear. Release yourself from any inner feelings of imprisonment; let your voice be heard.

Week of March 25th

Venus’ move into Pisces on Tuesday brings some shine back to your closet, your wallet, and your confidence. Mercury will still be retrograde conjunct Neptune for most of the week, and even after he stations direct on Thursday, the return to clarity will be gradual. Reflect on what you’ve learned about your money and values over the past few weeks. If you’ve been sucked back into old patterns of self-deception or self-doubt, are you ready to drop them? How do you plan to replace your old habits with new ones? Mull it over this week. On Sunday, Mars in Gemini ignites your creative spark.

Week of March 18th

The Spring Equinox full moon invites you on an adventure. It’s possible that a friend, partner, or teacher will join you on this journey. Follow what looks beautiful to you. Overcome insecurity about your ability to learn these lessons. You have a unique intelligence, an eccentric form of wisdom that always benefits the rest of the zodiac when you allow yourself to explore what is uncommon. Go beyond known boundaries this week.

Week of March 11th

If you feel self-doubt creeping in this week, look to your community for encouragement. Good friends will give you heart when the going gets tough. You have such large, optimistic dreams; they can’t all be accomplished immediately. Take good care of yourself—mind, body, and spirit—and slowly feel your way into this new era of reinvention. You will not stay trapped forever. Freedom is in your nature.

Week of March 4th

Mercury stations retrograde in your value sector on Tuesday. This is an excellent time to clear your space of old possessions, re-commit to caring for your body by breaking unhealthy patterns with food or substances, or take another look at your finances. Consider how your life is aligned with what you value. If there are any misalignments, how could you bring yourself closer to what you care about? Wednesday’s new moon helps you to envision the bigger picture.

Uranus in Taurus will be calling you to make a home in the wilderness. He’s your modern ruling planet because you have so much in common: a taste for freedom and new ideas, a certain iconoclastic streak. So when Uranus moves in to shake up your idea of who you are, changing the very foundations of your life, it may feel quite natural to you. You’re ready to create more freedom at home, and grow in the direction of your natural vocation. Get ready for an earthquake that will knock down existing structures and return you to your natural habitat. If you can surrender to the intelligence of the universe at this time, The Great Awakener will point you in the right direction so that you can rise up. This is a lengthy process, taking place over the next seven years, so you have time to figure out what feels most natural to you.

Week of February 25th

You’ve been getting all kinds of serious insights from your dreams and reveries. It must be tough to keep opening closets and finding all of those skeletons. We all have them; yours are just knocking loudly on that locked door at the moment. Don’t hide what makes you different. Your own special brand of high strangeness inspires other people. When Venus moves into your sign on Friday, she encourages you to show off your unusual beauty.

Week of February 18th

Chiron is a teacher, and Aries is the sign in your house of learning, so it’s very likely that you will be deepening your studies over the next seven years. If you have siblings, wounds from that relationship could come up. You may be healing wounds around communication or your ability to learn. Chiron may show you where it hurts first, leaving you feeling vulnerable as you remember those incidents that left you scarred. Ultimately, though this will be a transit of loving your own intelligence and learning to communicate with confidence. Your thoughts matter. This week, Chiron’s teachings begin with a private meditation. You’re uncovering the wisdom of the unconscious with this full moon in Virgo. You’re confronting old fears and laying the past to rest. Writing or speaking with a trusted loved one will help you make sense of things this week.

Week of February 11th

You’re on fire with inspiration this week. This will be most intense on Wednesday, when powerful hidden information suddenly comes to light, perhaps through the unconscious in a dream, or through another type of imaginative process. Stay aware of unseen spiritual realities. You’ll probably want to stay close to home on Valentine’s Day this year. Setting aside some private time alone or with a loved one is the perfect way to celebrate. On Sunday, after a week of introspection, you may dream up some creative ways to carry out your ideals.

Week of February 4th

This new moon in your sign is a chance to reset. If the January eclipses upset your plans, now you can let go of what didn’t work and refresh. The adage that how you spend your time is what you worship applies this week. Speak out in service of what you care about. Contribute to the cause. You’re in the process of transforming your inner life, your spiritual path, and the way you think. You may find that you have some interesting things to say about that this week. On Sunday, when Mercury enters Pisces, you start a two-month cycle of reflection about what you value.

Week of January 28th

You may get a few new ideas this week. Your aim to live out your ideals just requires some real dreaming and some practical action. Now is the time to dream in detail. Get out your visions and plans. Conversations with others could be contentious but useful as long as you stay open to changing your perspective. You may be able to change a few minds as well. Once Venus moves into Capricorn on Sunday, relationships take a backseat to rest and contemplation for about a month.

Week of January 21st

The eclipse may have been tough on a primary relationship, but this week is about recovery. Blessings come through friends and networks this week. A wish may even come true! Go out and see people if you have the opportunity, because your social life is bound to be fun. Mercury moves into your sign on Thursday, offering you a fresh perspective. You may find you have something creative to say this weekend. Be the optimist in the room.

Week of January 14th

Relationships are the primary theme this week. Your friendships sustain you, even as you are going through a hidden transformation. Acknowledge what has ended and what is ending for you, and surround yourself with people who help you carry on. The eclipse illuminates something about who you are now in relation to your most significant friend or partner. The other person has been part of this shifting cycle of relationship too, and may have some important insight to share with you.

Week of January 7th

This week, reflect on what might be holding you back. Fears and doubts are crowding you in, but there is room for hope. Dream even bigger than you have been, and then check in to see what resources you have available to fuel that journey. Reach out and connect with other people who might be able to help. Venus in Sagittarius brings opportunities for others to lift you up.

Week of December 31st

You are called to do some tough inner work this week. Saturday’s solar eclipse brings a spiritual test of sorts, and wisdom for those who pass it. If you have suffered over the past year, consider what you learned from those experiences. Make some time to take care of yourself in the first week of this year. If you need rest and hibernation, carve out that space. Winter is the time for meditating and dreaming in the cave. Take your cues from the Bear in 2019.

Bustle quoted me again, this time in an article about how to tell if someone with air sign placements is crushing on you. Link in bio!⠀
.⠀
"In order for an air sign to really start crushing on you, they'll need to connect with you on an intellectual level first. "Good conversation is essential to them," Goss says. So they may ask for your opinion on things like politics, pop culture, or anything that's worth talking about. According to Goss, air signs are the most driven by the exchange of ideas. "This lets them show off their natural intelligence and cleverness," she says. "They also do it because they really want to get to know you."⠀

Just for fun! I was featured in Bustle's article on earth signs. Want to know if a Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn is crushing on you? Link in bio.⠀
.⠀
'"Earth signs deal with the realm of the material, so someone with earth sign placements is likely to show romantic interest in material and practical ways," Goss says. They may show their interested through physical touch. For instance, they may place their hand on your arm when you're touching or stay close when you're walking together.'⠀

Mercury enters Taurus today, where he slows down and contemplates before speaking, if he speaks at all. Mercury here is more about doing: growing things, building things, and expressing oneself through the manifestation of effort. Actions speak louder than words now. Mercury meets Uranus, sometimes called the higher octave of Mercury, in this sign (exact May 8th). Again, those themes of rewilding, radical pleasure, and the economy come to the forefront. What are you doing to rewild?⠀

Some of that knowing comes through your nightdreams. Some of it comes through your daydreams: those visions of your future self that you just know are going to be real. You know it in your bones. If you tried to explain the embodied knowledge of your daydream self to someone else, that person might think you were talking about a wish, not a knowing. But if your body knows that something is true, you have to trust that. You don't have to tell anyone about it, and in fact it might feel safer not to. Let them be mystified. Go with your gut. Trust your bones.⠀

It's Beltane and I'm taking the day to do some non-business-related activities: reading, writing poetry, planting, and candle-making. I don't think about having a "balance" between "work" and "life" because so much of my work now is a joy, and I'm grateful for that. I think instead about the wheel of my life: business, creative play, health, home, relationships, spirituality...and how much attention everything is getting. Is every plant in the garden of my life getting water and sunlight? Some need more than others at different times.
.
In reading Team Human, I'm confronting my complicity with algorithmic systems like Instagram, designed to capture attention, persuade us to purchase, extract data, and keep us hungry for more. It's a sick system that I have chosen to avoid as much as possible in my personal life. The conundrum is in running a business when social media has become the marketplace. I am also here to persuade, but I am more interested in commerce, in running a sustainable business, than I am in constant growth. I want to reach those who are ready to awaken their consciousness with astrology and coaching so I can help them recover their own power and transcend this exploitative game. And I'm on here because I have to meet you where you are. Maybe my way of being a spoilsport is to invite you to read long book passages on a photo app, and to make those book passages about breaking the system?
.
Oh, and btw, I got this from the public library. It's great; it's like an IRL internet where you can access all kinds of knowledge for free, except the information is much more likely to be accurate. + NO ADS.

Read Team Human. Find the Others.

Saturn stations retrograde at 21 degrees of Capricorn today. Just like every year, this retrograde lasts about 4 ½ months. Saturn will station direct at 14 degrees of Capricorn on September 18th. If you have personal planets between 14-21 degrees of Cardinal signs, you’re getting another taste of this salty Saturn transit this summer. This is yet another opportunity to reflect on your relationship to responsibility. What do you expect to reap, based on what you’ve sown so far? Are any of your actions out of alignment with your sense of integrity? Recognize real limitations and either work within them or work hard to push beyond them in responsible ways.⠀

Have you ever reached that point when you were so clear on what you had to do that the fear dropped away?⠀
.⠀
Fear has no chance when our minds are made up. Fear loosens its grip on us when we have clarity about what must be done.⠀
.⠀
Clarity has that power. It diminishes fear the way light chases away the darkness.⠀
.⠀
What do you know is right? What do you know you have to do? What difference do you know you can make, right now, today? ⠀

I was trying to do work @cocoagrinder but then I found this Mysteries of the Unknown series that Time-Life published in the 80s so nevermind.

As the moon waxed to total fullness last night, I was in a room full of amazing women talking about equal pay with @ladiesgetpaid & @hiredinc. I went to this event to watch a microdocumentary about the gender pay gap, and listen to a panel of successful women talk about how we can close it. I heard stories from women who found out that they were making as much as $80,000 less than their male coworkers for doing the same job. And by the way, it's not because women don't negotiate. We do; we just don't get the salaries we ask for. We need to continue to ask for the money we deserve. We need to do research to find out what other people are being paid for the same jobs and experience, we need more pay transparency, and we need to hold companies accountable for compensation equality. There are a lot of things people say to make this issue seem more complicated, about women leaving work to have kids, or being overrepresented in underpaid jobs like teaching. But it's not really a complicated issue. It's simple discrimination. And the simple answer would be to value women and the work that women do the way we value the contributions of men. And pay us all equally. Now. This is what the higher potential of Uranus in Taurus represents to me: changing the economy. Knowing our worth. Rising up and demanding what we deserve. ⠀
